8.0:1 is way too low. 9.0:1 is a greaty happy medium, but a lot of guys have been using 10:1 just fine with good tuning.

Keep in mind, the lower your compression the lower your power yield will be and your spool up times will also decrease. With a decent trim turbo (57 comp trim .48 a/r t3) you should easily be able to hit 250whp at 10psi with a 9.0:1 piston. And I'm sure you know that EMS is very important as well so I will spare you the lecture.

Engine Management System

It allows you to change your fuel curves and ignition tables.

Or you can always run an s-afc hack

The AFC hack will not allow you to change your ignition tables, but you can change your fuel settings on this set-up.

I cannot stress how important tuning is. Search this site for any other questions, 99/100 of them have already been covered, answered, and covered 10 more times.
